Winning any of the World Circuits Gr3 races

[garystevens64]

For some reason I can't win any of the Gr3 races. Most of them are 10 laps & you have to add gas & maybe tires. I can't figure out why I'm having this problem since I never had any problems like this with any of the other GT games. I use to Tuners for most of my car setups. I've used these tunes for the past 3 game & I have never had any problems winning a race. But for some reason I can't even come close to wining one of the GR3 races. Any Idea what I'm not do right?

As there usually is no tuning alltThey require is practice.
Some cars are better suited to certain tracks, but the AI can be beaten with all of them (though the Skyline 84 with its large turbo lag maybe is more difficult).

This came up only yesterday in this thread:

Bop Issue on Gt3

What car/setup is the best for winning GT Cup GR3 Red Bull and Mount Panorama? Both are BoP races and I cant seem to find any car that will work. No matter which car I pick it never has the power to catch up on the straights. I can run the entire race full throttle and yet never get close at the...

Upshot: race smart not hard.

Tuning is disabled on these races - aside from brake balance - so it's not relevant what tunes you use. Save fuel, save tyres (lift and coast in both cases, short-shift or fuel map for fuel, brake balance to even out wear on tyres), make your cornering advantage count, and win the race by spending less time in the pits.

In races with rain, keep an eye on the weather radar and pit proactively. Pit when you're going to need wet/dry tyres and not when you already do, and you'll cruise past the AI as they struggle on the wrong type. Palest blue is irrelevant, darker blue adds enough surface water to go past the first marker and require Intermediates but if the patch is small enough you can get away with driving very cautiously for half a lap.
